Full details

The key benefit is the Hands Free Slip-ins® design, allowing for quick and easy on-and-off without bending. A potential caveat is that while engineered for comfort, they are best suited for light athletic activities and casual use, rather than high-intensity training. Key features include the innovative Heel Pillow® for secure fit, a Stretch Fit® knit upper, and a cushioned Memory Foam™ insole, all contributing to a comfortable and supportive experience.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities like walking. They may not provide the necessary support or cushioning for high-impact running.
How do I clean the knit upper?
Gently wipe the knit upper with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Always air dry.
What is the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is a supportive, cushioned feature in the heel of the shoe designed to keep your foot securely in place and enhance comfort.
Can I replace the insole?
While the Skechers Memory Foam™ insole is integrated for comfort, it may be possible to remove it for cleaning or replacement with a different orthotic if needed, though this may affect the shoe's fit.
Do the stretch laces provide adjustability?
The stretch laces are fixed and primarily decorative, offering a secure slip-on fit without the need for manual adjustment or tying.
What does 'BOBS® from Skechers®' mean?
It signifies that Skechers supports animal welfare. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of BOBS® products helps save the lives of pets in need.
Are these waterproof?
No, the engineered knit upper is not waterproof. These trainers are designed for dry conditions and casual wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
The Stretch Fit® upper offers a flexible fit. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a half-size up or down. Ensure your heel is properly seated in the Heel Pillow®.
Difficulty slipping feet in
While designed to be slip-on, ensure the back of the shoe is fully open and your foot is angled correctly. The Heel Pillow® might initially feel snug but should adapt with wear.
Tread wear after limited use
These trainers are best for light activity. Excessive use on rough surfaces may lead to premature tread wear. Ensure they are used for their intended purpose (casual, light walking).
Odour development
To minimize odour, allow the shoes to air out between wears. Consider using a shoe deodorizer spray or placing baking soda inside overnight. Regular cleaning of the insole can also help.
